The color guard and twirling line have some requirements in certain sections. The flag line is open to beginners and experienced members. The rifle line, the sabre line, and the twirling line are open to experienced members only. Auditions for those areas take place in the summer. Stay tuned for audition information for next season!

Specific information will be given out at the beginning of each season. Generally, color guard members will be responsible for purchasing performance shoes (usually black), guard gloves (optional - usually nude), a personal flag bag and any necessary hair/make-up components. Twirlers will generally be responsible for purchasing performance shoes (usually nude), nude tights, and any necessary hair/make-up components.

Any piece of equipment can be signed out of our inventory, but you may spin your own weapons or batons if they are closely matching to school equipment. Rifles are 36" with a black bolt and black strap, and sabres are 39" with varying taping techniques (can differ season to season).

All necessary equipment, lots of water, sunscreen, sneakers, drill, and electric tape (both black and white). You are also responsible for your own first-aid needs.

During the summer, the main source of information goes to your Millersville email (obtained from your submission from the Join Us! Page). Once band camp arrives, our WhatsApp group becomes the main source of information during the season. Twirlers also have a separate group chat for easier communication. More information about these groups can be obtained after signing up.

Check out the Band Camp Page and FAQs Page for more information that is also applicable to the musicians in the band. If you have more questions, email millersvilleguard@gmail.com for color guard questions, and russellsbaton@verizon.net for twirling questions.
